Ottawa Fury FC added their 13th Canadian to the squad on Thursday with the acquisition of Adonijah Reid on a year-long loan from MLS club FC Dallas.

“Reid is a talented, young player that not only fits well with our culture, but has tons more potential to develop,” said Fury FC General Manager Julian de Guzman. “We had a glimpse of what he can do last year as a Fury FC player and are excited to see him push himself to better as a player and contribute to our club’s success.”

The 18-year-old forward featured in 12 matches with Fury FC last season, making his professional debut on July 29 against Toronto FC II after having been the first Canadian Generation Adidas player to be selected in an MLS SuperDraft, picked by FC Dallas in the second round (40th overall) in January 2017.

Prior to joining the professional ranks, the Brampton, ON native had turned heads in League1 Ontario in 2015, scoring 20 goals in a season for ANB Futbol, winning the Golden Boot award and the Young Player award for that year.

On the international stage, Reid was first called into a Canadian national team camp at age 14 and participated in a Canadian U-20 National Team project ahead of the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea. He had also taken part in an extended trial with the French Ligue 1 OGC Nice club.

The addition of Reid brings the Canadian contingent on the Fury roster to a healthy number 13 – more than 50% of its overall team makeup. To view the complete 2018 roster, please click here.
